Valve Selling Out

Posted by satchmo · 12/10/06 @5:38 pm · interviews · 4 comments

During a recent interview with CS-Nation, Doug Lombardi announced that in-game product endorsement is going to be implemented in the near future. Advertisements will start to appear on in-game virtual billboards and building facades, first with CS 1.6, then perhaps with CSS eventually.

I guess it's just a matter of time even the most venerable game developers sell their soul for money. Read the full interview at CS-Nation.

Ya, i know - it's a personal problem!

I just hope that they don't do it so that it disturbs gameplay, such as, before joining a server, it shows you a video clip or something. Then I'd get annoyed. Magedo.
